Eddie Hearn believes Devin Haney has to make changes to his team if he wants to move forward in the ring.
Hearn, who has promoted multiple Haney fights, saw what happened to the California fighter when he competed with Ryan Garcia earlier this year.
Garcia dropped Haney three times before winning on the scorecards, but the bout was later changed to a ‘No Contest’ when it was revealed Garcia had failed a drug test.
The performance from Haney drew some criticism, and Hearn thinks the former undisputed lightweight ruler needs new ideas.
“I think he has to look at his team. His dad, I love Bill. He’s got his back 100% but is he the right person to take him forward strategically in the ring?” asked Hearn when speaking on All the Smoke Fight podcast.
“I never liked this three or four trainer thing where they’re in the changing room, and they’re doing the pads with him. AJ went through that system when he boxed Usyk - he was so lost.”
